After driving away the little black bugs, Meng Xiaodie and Shen Hong continued forward. The situation in front of them seemed to have gotten better, because the grass had become smaller and more sparse.

They did not need swords and sabers to walk, but they did not walk far before Shen Hong's feet slipped and he almost fell.

"Not good, there's water under the grass." Shen Hong said.

He shined the fire piston downwards, and could see the reflection of water. There were only some wet traces of water here, and Meng Xiaodie was worried that if she kept walking forward, she would not know what was happening. Perhaps this was the situation along the way, and this was the best result.

They didn't go far, and as expected, Meng Xiaodie had guessed correctly. Mud had started to appear in front of them, and the water reached their ankles, making loud popping sounds as they stepped on the mud. This was what Meng Xiaodie was most worried about. If they entered the swamp, it would be a disaster. The swamp was extremely dangerous, but once they stepped into it, they would not even have a chance to live.

Meng Xiaodie and Shen Hong did not walk across the swamp. The two of them had no experience. They stopped and looked ahead. It was misty ahead, with the occasional sound of water and an unpleasant smell drifting over.

There were rotting leaves everywhere on the water, and some withered old trees were lying on the water's surface in a mess. Meng Xiaodie observed her surroundings and decided to use those withered old trees to climb those upturned branches, which felt much better than walking in the mud.

The two of them performed their Qing Gong and shuttled back and forth between the branches. It was not that difficult. Instead, it was faster than walking. In just a few moments, they covered a distance of two to three hundred meters.

The dead trees were also mixed with dense spruces. There were some mosses underneath the spruces. The moss had multiplied on the tree branches and slipped under their feet. Shen Hong had almost slipped a few times. She began to slow down, but fortunately, with Meng Xiaodie's help, her progress was smooth. Further ahead, Shen Hong seemed to feel that his eyes were burning red, and he couldn't help but stop himself. The light of the fire piston was already dim, and when it shined upon it, that red flame seemed to be brighter than a fire piston.

Could it be a fire? She turned to Meng Xiaodie, "Do you think that forest is burning?"

At first, Meng Xiaodie also thought that the trees were on fire. Perhaps the opponent wanted to use the devil fire to burn them to death, but he didn't smell anything, nor did he feel any heat wave coming from the trees. He let Shen Hong stay on the tree while he flew over. Upon closer inspection, he found that it was actually a mangrove forest. The mangrove forest was filled with thick red fir trees, one after the other. The fiery red leaves were dazzling. No wonder it looked so far away like a burning flame.

The duo couldn't help but smile at each other. Shen Hong was surprised as she approached the mangrove forest. She had never seen such a large area of mangrove forest before. She thought that she would be able to enjoy the scenery if she was out on a sightseeing trip. However, at this moment, they were trapped in a desperate situation, surrounded by dangers. They weren't in the mood to enjoy the wonderful scene before them.

There were also some withered trees in the mangrove forest, but the number of them had suddenly decreased by a lot. They had no choice but to rely on the growth of the redwoods to jump forward.

Shen Hong once again felt her feet slip. She thought that it was the moss that caused this. She lowered her head to look and was so frightened that she stopped, not daring to move.

Her foot stepped on a snake. It was a fiery red snake, and its body was more than two feet long. Her foot was stepping on the snake's head, and Shen Hong was covered in cold sweat.

This kind of fiery red snake was very rare. Shen Hong had once seen a red snake called a Scarlet Chained Flower Snake. It was extremely poisonous. The snake was long and slender, with dark spots on its body. As for the red snake in front of him, it had a sturdy body and was completely red in color. Shen Hong was afraid that the red snake would react too quickly, so she pulled out her crescent shaped scimitar and cut the red snake into two.

The head of the red snake had already been stepped on by Shen Hong, so the shape of the snake's head couldn't be seen. The head of the red snake had already been stepped on by Shen Hong, so the shape of the snake's head couldn't be seen either.

When Meng Xiaodie saw that red snake, she was also shocked, "What kind of snake is that? I don't think I've ever seen one before. "

"This is also the first time I've seen a snake like this. It seems to specialize in the mangrove forest. Its color is extremely similar to a redwood tree. It's hard to tell the color and has a stronger concealment."

"Looks like there are a lot of these snakes in this mangrove forest. We have to be careful." Meng Xiaodie said.

No matter how poisonous the red snake was, it was useless against Meng Xiaodie. Shen Hong was a poison master, so she knew all about snake poison. For safety reasons, she had applied a layer of yellow oil on her body.

As he walked into the mangrove forest, he saw many red snakes. These snakes were called Lizard Redwood Snakes. Their bodies were similar to lizards. They had long, flat heads and a pair of black eyes that were especially eye-catching in the red light.

The lizard-red fir snakes climbed up the redwood trees. Some hung down like a red rope, while others snaked along the tree trunk like vines. There were also some red snakes entwined together and a dozen snake heads swaying together.

When Shen Hong saw this, she could not help but feel nauseous. She tried her best to avoid the horde of snakes, but the nearby red snake smelled the yellow colour on her body, and also quickly scurried far away. Shen Hong was feeling pleased with himself when a black mass of snake eyes appeared in front of him. As there were too many red snakes, they crowded together like a large ball of fire.

The big ball of fire blocked their way. Meng Xiaodie raised the fire piston high in the air and looked at it. She felt that it was a bit strange. Why were those red snakes hugging each other and stopping there? He carefully examined the situation and found that there seemed to be a big red ball in the middle of the group of snakes. Because the snakes were coiling around each other, he could not figure out what exactly that big red ball was.

The two of them stopped there, inspecting the swarming snakes, but suddenly the swarms shook and all the snakes dispersed, looking like thousands of lizard-sized redwoods snakes, each snake was as thick as a bowl, more than two meters long, this was a vast group of snakes, and when the snakes completely dispersed, Meng Xiaodie and Shen Hong could see that the big red ball in the middle was not a ball, but a huge lizard Redwood Snake coiled up.

This lizard, Redwood Snake, was too huge. It was as thick as six or seven old trees that were tied together. Even if 20 people held hands with it, they wouldn't be able to carry it. The two of them had yet to see the snake's head. The snake head seemed to be curled up within the snake's body.

But after a while, the huge head of the snake rose up from its body. Because the head was too big, when it lifted up, the two only saw a big red thing hanging in the air like a big cloud.

They didn't see the snake's eyes, only its mouth, blood-red. A thick snake's tongue protruded from its mouth.
